[edit] Grimes sisters

I reverted your most recent edit to the Grimes sisters article, and wished to explain to you why I did so. First of all, The Giant Puffin, the user who added the template, is not a vandal, and it is in bad faith to accuse them of being such. The mistake of adding their name to the article was remedied by myself. The article is largely unsourced and lacks references/citations/footnotes/etc. There are only two external links, none of which are connected to the article itself, though it may be true that some of the article's information came from these two links. Overall, there is no verifiability, which is necessary for an article to be considered sourced (WP:A). If you think you can help with the research in this article, and help provide reliable sources so that it will be credibly attributed, by all means do so. It's a very interesting article, and I would like to see it more fleshed out so as to learn more. Take care, María (habla conmigo) 20:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid you're misinterpreting the terms. An External link is not the same as a source. You should read Wikipedia:Citing Wikipedia in order to better understand how articles should be properly sourced and statements verified, usually by inline citations. You may believe that the article is sourced, but it isn't, and certainly not by the Crime Library, which rarely cites its own sources, I'm afraid. Suitable, reliable sources would be considered news articles, books, primary sources such as court documents, etc. So as you can see, whether or not I have read the external links is irrelevant. The reason why I have not brought this subject up on the talk page is because I acknowledge the fact that you are perhaps new to Wikipedia, and perhaps unfamiliar with how things need verification so it does not appear as original research. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course. I suggest you read the links I have provided, think about your research, and rethink and accept the fact that this article is, as it currently stands, unsourced. If you have any questions, let me know. For now I'll keep the template off the page, but remember that I am not the only one who believes the unreferenced template belongs, and that it was originally placed there by a different editor, one who you called a vandal.

[edit] Orion 19

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Orion 19, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://medlibrary.org/medwiki/Orion_17. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Iran rocket irilv.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Iran rocket irilv.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speck

Your edit to this article, and the edit summary you used, are highly inappropriate. I added a general hidden note regarding the addition of trivia to this article, which is becoming more of a standard for articles of high profile murderers, and you responded with a direct, personal note in the body of the article, which is not in keeping with dealing with issues that you have with the edits of others. The note and summary, plus the reference to it not being good behavior, violate WP:AGF, WP:Civil, WP:Etiquette, and border on a personal attack. In the future, if you have an issue with edits made by others, kindly take it to the talk page for discussion.

Call it what you will, "In popular culture" or "Cultural references", it is still trivia, which is discouraged by Wikipedia, but still requires citations from reliable sources. Observation of a film or television show plot is not a reliable source. Removing this unsourced trivial material was, in fact, totally in keeping with WP:Trivia and with WP:Cite. The first, a reference to a Cheap Trick song, claims the song was about Speck but all references were removed to respect families, although there is no citation given for that claim, and in fact, the song does not mention Richard Speck or circumstances related to his crime. The comment regarding the song Born to Raise Hell is nothing but speculation on the part of the contributor. It's trivia. Two references to plots that are similar to the Speck murders are also unsourced conjecture, which is original research and unacceptable by Wikipedia guidelines. Finally, the use of Speck's picture or name in brief moments in films unrelated in any other way to Speck is trivia. Unsourced trivia, which by WP guidelines can and should be removed. I am removing the trivia section as unsourced speculative material. One song is being moved to the media section. In the future, again, take this sort of issue to the talk page and desist from using the article to launch personal messages. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Atv docked real.jpg

Hi. I noticed that you uploaded the image Image:Atv docked real.jpg as a fair-use copyrighted image from ESA. If you look in the top right corner of the image, you will see that there is a NASA watermark. This proves that NASA created the image, and therefore it is Public Domain. I have mentioned this on the image's talk page. Do you mind if I change the tag to {{PD-NASA}}? --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 22:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

  • The logo can easily be mistaken for detail on the Zvezda module unless you know what you are looking for. If you look closely, the lightest detail in the top right corner spells out the word "NASA". I've changed the licence tag on the image to {{PD-NASA}}, and suggested that it should be moved to Commons.
